21. A.Mendel took pea plants with two different characteristics such as a tall plant with round seeds and short plant with
wrinkled seeds
F1 progeny are all tall with round seeds. Thus tallness and round seeds are dominant traits.
F2 Progeny are tall plants with round seeds and some short plants with wrinkled seeds.
But some F2progeny showed new mixtures like tall having wrinkled seeds and short having round seeds
Therefore tall and short trait and round and wrinkled seed trait are independently inherited.
